The Api endpoint is:-

POST /users/{userId}/meetings

In looking at the documentation for scheduling a zoom meeting by making an api call , I can see that I need to post the meeting data . The sample meeting object is:-

Hi @bmalik  
Thanks for reaching out to us  
I was just doing some testing on my end and it looks like you only need to pass one field in order to create a meeting.  
I did a test by passing just the field “topic” and I was able to create the meeting.  
I will go ahead and reach out to the Documentation team about this to make a note in our Docs
